Gentlemen,
I have a 2016 Bullet XRS with a 2 stroke 250 Pro XS Mercury and two 8 foot power poles. I have 3 lithium troller batteries and plan to buy a lithium cranking battery when this one dies.
I understand that it is possible to get "Up to" an additional 20 horsepower with a flash. S, I guess my first question would be, is the flash worth fooling with?
My second question is, if I do get the flash, would the additional horsepower be enough to go up one prop pitch?
I currently run the 27 Hydro prop that came on it from Bullet, and it has good hole shot and runs out about 76 - 78 mph with one person when conditions are perfect and I have the time to get it up there. I want to keep the hole shot but would like to add 2 to 4 mph. Is the additional hp enough to turn a 28 pitch prop? What prop would work best on this setup?
Sorry about all the questions. I think I said enough for you to understand what I am thinking of doing, so if you have any advice on this please feel free to chime in even if it is not a direct answer.
Thanks
Brad
